Good morning,

I was reading the latest issue (dated July 17, 2006) of Business Week magazine and was pleasantly surprised to find a short piece about Purdey.

Purdey's bespoke shotguns are handcrafted, the old-fashioned way.

A better than expected slide show illustrating several steps in the gunmaking process including a few shots of the Hammersmith workshop:
